On the local board there was not much in
Quiry for wheat of any sort on q declining
market, though several thousand bushels May
at 771c early in the season. Receipts sold
amounted to SOC cars. Sales were slow of
sample wheat and local millers were the prin-
cipal buyers. Prices ranged fully lie below
the prices of the day before, and good deal
Of the grain was carried off unsold. Corn is
easy and oats are very dull and hard to sell,
owing to the heavy receipts. Wheat-No. l
hard was lower, being quoted at the close at
75c for cash or March. 1890 for May, rye
for June. No. Northern was quoted at 73c
for cash or March, 74s4c for May and 751ac
for June. No. Northern ruled nominal at
Tic for cash or March, 72s4c for May and
1910 for June.

Flour-The situation in this market remains
practically unchanged. A moderate business
was transacted. The feeling, as far as it
could be gained, was that prices are at bed
rock. There were inquiries for -four from
the seaboard for April and May deliveries.
Millers were not able to give definite figures
as they cannot tell what the freight will be
under the interstate law. Nearly all are sold
up to April. Patent, sacks to local dealers,

tinued to sell pretty well owing to the present
